What we do

The world’s largest festival of public science talks will see more than 30 scientists take the stage in pubs across Birmingham.

As part of the three-day Pint of Science festival, thousands of scientists around the world will speak about their research. In nearly 300 cities across 21 countries, members of the public will have the chance to ask them questions. The festival brings a unique line up of talks, demonstrations and live experiments to the nation’s favourite locals.

Aston, Birmingham, and Birmingham City University researchers will talk at a number of venues, including The Gunmakers Arms, The Woodman, Cherry Red’s, The Church, and more.

Tickets are available from the Pint of Science website (pintofscience.co.uk), with each evening costing just £4. Attendees in Birmingham will enjoy a variety of exciting talks including:

Birmingham City University criminologist Professor Elizabeth Yardley will be looking at what makes people commit murder and violent crime and why we are so fascinated with women who kill and kill again.

Dr Emily Halford, former PhD student and Pint of Science coordinator from University of Birmingham, said:

“This is our fourth year of involvement in the Pint of Science Festival and this year is bigger and better than ever. We’re delighted to be working with colleagues from Aston University and Birmingham City University to put on such a wide-ranging and exciting programme of events.”

Pint of Science was established six years ago by a group of UK-based postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers and has grown into one of the world’s biggest science festivals.

The founders, Dr Praveen Paul and Dr Michael Motskin, have brought a personal touch to science, giving everyone the chance to meet the people behind the incredible research taking place across the globe.

“There is so much fascinating research happening right under our noses that we don’t know about” says festival co-founder Dr Paul. “Some can get lost in translation leading to fake news. Pint of Science allows people direct access to inspiring scientists and encourages open discussion, all in the most familiar of British places, the pub! Scientists drink pints too – they really aren’t that different!”

“It’s great to see this enthusiasm for knowledge shared across the world – this year Pint of Science will be taking place in nearly 300 cities and 21 countries!”
